Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952), one of the first teachers from India to bring yoga to the West, emphasized direct inner experience of the Divine, which he called “Self-realization.” His teaching offer a practical approach to inner awakening. In his early years in America, Yogananda wrote lessons and articles that are no longer widely available. The writings in the Wisdome of Yogananda series are drawn from these sources.
Born in India in 1893, Paramhansa Yogananda was trained from his early years to bring India's ancient science of Self- realization to the West. In 1920 he moved to the United States to begin what was to develop into a worldwide work touching millions of lives. Americans were hungry for India's spiritual teachings, and for the liberating techniques of yoga.
In 1946 he published what has become a spiritual classic and one of the best-loved books of the twentieth century, Autobiography of a Yogi. In addition, Yogananda established headquarters for a worldwide work, wrote a number of books and study courses, gave lectures to thousands in most major cities across the United States, wrote music and poetry, and trained disciples. He was invited to the White House by Calvin Coolidge, and he initiated Mahatma Gandhi into Kriya Yoga, his most advanced meditation technique. Yogananda's message to the West highlighted the unity of a.11 religions, and the importance of love for God combined with scientific techniques of meditation.
